Yes, a lack of healthcare will kill people in the long term. But not having food will kill people quicker.

The cutting of SNAP benefits was designed to kill people and make Dems look shitty.

And too many of you fell for that shit.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.

For two weeks until I got my first paycheck.

I had been giving all my money to him and gave all my extra school loan money to him to get this shitty car we owned. Which he kept 100% of after the divorce.
Right before I left I made a double batch of my gram's biscotti. Which made a ton of biscotti. And I rationed them.

The longest I went without food was 2 weeks. I had just left my ex and was renting a room out of a house an elderly woman owned and was working as close as I could get as full time in retail and at a gas station all night.
I was sleeping like 3 hours a day.
When I first left him I had no money.

For a month.
He was fine because, again, he could eat anything he wanted at the restaurant.

When we first moved in together he had just gotten a job as a manager of a restaurant. We lived in a motel. I had no car, and no access to anything. He would bring me home ramen noodles that I would "cook" in the motel ice bucket in the hottest water I could. We also had Hostess chocolate pies.

When we first moved in together we lived in a motel for a month. I had no job and no funds. I had dropped out of school because I couldnt find a job in Buffalo while being a student. I had no form of transportation and the buses sucked.

Happy 58th, Lecia! I hope you have a wonderful day.

If Democratic voters (including centrists, liberals, progressives, and even some leftists) had stuck by Democrats in 2010 and 2014, the ACA would be a lot stronger now. If they had shown up for Dems in 2016, we wouldn't be here at all and women would still have reproductive rights. But no.

Seriously, the ACA that everyone is so INSISTENT must be maintained, enhanced, and expanded... are some of the same jackasses that failed to vote in 2010 and 2014 after its passage as "punishment" for it not going far enough, handing Congress to the GOP, who have attacked it non-stop.

If folks really wanted things to get so bad that [discord-subpoena'd], well, one might wonder what they're doing to prepare themselves for that or bring that about themselves rather than merely wishcast those in power to do it for them while they cheer on from behind their keyboards.

Republicans started executing hostages, what would holding out have done except get them all killed?

Even the most nuclear option, exploding the filibuster, would lead to potentially devastating outcomes like banning trans people.

We've still got another *year* before mid-terms!
